Lyrics
Woke up this morning, turned on the news
Man shuffling papers while singing the blues
Turning away struggling with what to say
Words caught on the lines
Having to smile lies behind truths
Looking around to see what I find
Possible comforts to stave off my mind
Give me distraction, the latest attraction
Any old thing will do
Need to shake off the weary times and change my view
Put sugar in your coffee mama told me
Things can always be better than they seem
Takes a spoonful in your cup and a steady hand to stir it up
To find out how good and sweet life could be
Pack up my suitcase and head for the door
Need to get going though I don't know what for
Boots got fresh laces to take me new places
Going to wear down the tread
Try to find a way that I can clear my head
When hard times are everywhere you go
Or make up the only world you know
Don't waste your time on self denying, get on the path that you've been eyeing
Set your sights, take yourself down the road
Put sugar in your coffee mama told me
Things can always be better than they seem
Takes a spoonful in your cup and a steady hand to stir it up
To find out how good and sweet life could be
